Nicholas Nethercote 678e01a3fc Delay parsing of --cfg and --check-cfg options.
By storing the unparsed values in `Config` and then parsing them within
`run_compiler`, the parsing functions can use the main symbol interner,
and not create their own short-lived interners.

This change also eliminates the need for one `EarlyErrorHandler` in
rustdoc, because parsing errors can be reported by another, slightly
later `EarlyErrorHandler`.

The driver crate is effectively the "main" function for the rust compiler. It orchestrates the compilation process and "knits together" the code from the other crates within rustc. This crate itself does not contain any of the "main logic" of the compiler (though it does have some code related to pretty printing or other minor compiler options).

For more information about how the driver works, see the rustc dev guide.
